# Magic Rampage vs Super Mario Run

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Magic Rampage at 88% against Super Mario Run's 45%. Magic Rampage also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.8) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). Super Mario Run's advantage is ratings volume (79K vs 2.1K) and chart position (#92 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Magic Rampage sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Super Mario Run sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Magic Rampage holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Super Mario Run has 79K ratings behind it against 2.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of Magic Rampage's written reviews are positive against 45% of Super Mario Run's.
